Cervical cancer is a common gynecologic malignant tumor. Surgical treatment is an important treatment for early stage cervical cancer. Whether having lymph node metastasis is of great significance to the assessment of the prognosis of cervical cancer and the choice of treatment options. Preoperative assessment of lymph node metastasis based on identified related risk factors and imaging findings is helpful to the formulation of surgical strategies. In recent years, sentinel lymph node biopsy has been recommended for surgical treatment of patients with early stage cervical cancer due to its safety and feasibility. Patients with cervical cancer can selectively undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy, systematic lymph node resection, or para-aortic lymph node resection based on their preoperative lymph node assessment. According to intraoperative diagnosis of the degree of lymph node involvement, the extent of surgical resection can be determined. So the assessment of lymphatic metastasis, especially the formulation of surgical strategieswere of great significance in the treatment of cervical cancer.
